Completing the written requisition process

NOTE: the online requisition process is the preferred method to use when completing your requisition. You may, however, complete the written requisition process as follows:

  1. Fill out the MCTC Requisition form. Attach quote/bid information (if applicable), fax and phone numbers.
  2. Do not use acronyms for the vendor's name. Put in vendor number, if known. New vendors will need federal and state tax ID number.
  3. Forward to responsibility manager for his/her signature. They will forward to Purchasing in room T.210.
  4. A purchase order will be created and mailed or faxed according to your instructions.
  5. The day after the purchase order is created, a working copy will be sent via interoffice mail for your records along with a receiving copy requesting approval for payment. Please inform our office if you do not receive the receiving copy with 5 days.
  6. Please plan ahead. Allow ample time (5 days for an established vendor, 10 or more days for a new vendor, a PO which requires a PO and any purchase over $10,000) for the PO to be processed.
  7. Contact Purchasing via e-mail, if you do not receive a hardcopy of your purchase order within 8 working days.
  8. The Receiving Department opens all orders, matches packing slip to purchase order copy, and contacts you to pick up your order.
  9. The Receiving Department will send Accounts Payable a copy of the Packing Slip reflecting items received. This eliminates signatures of invoices for purchased goods.
  10. Purchase orders for services, conferences or any items that are non-tangible still will require your signature on the invoice.
  11. Sign and date the receiving/payment approval copy and forward to accounts payable in the business office when goods received or services rendered. To keep consistency in our accounts payable, we ask that you return the receiving/approval copy whenever a payment must accompany the order form (i.e. subscriptions). Payments will not be made without this form.

OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL: An Out-of-State travel form is required for any out-of-state travel or conferences.
